Review of Fires on the Plain (2015) by Guido P — 10 Jun 2007
A feverish confabulation, this oppressive film about starving Japanese soldiers marching across the Philippines is steadfast in its claustrophobic intensity. It might be slow-paced at times, but that's somewhat the point.
The characters are sapped of their energy - almost fatalistic in their proximity to death - and so the camera moves about likewise sedated, and likewise morosely.
